Overview

Laboratory evaluation can be used as a measure to determine disease severity, responsiveness to treatment and prognosis, in addition to their role as a diagnostic tool. Tests such as autologous serum skin test (ASST) and basophil activation test (BAT) are useful for detection of autoantibodies against IgE. Moreover elevated levels of c-reactive protein (CRP), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), certain interleukins and tumor necrosis factor-alpha have been reported in urticaria patients. Laboratory evaluations that can determine disease activity are autologous serum skin test (ASST), c-reactive protein (CRP) and IL-6.
